| - Nice spot for happy hour. Cool art on the walls. The tall tables in the bar area are great for a group and I'm so glad they didn't have the enormous TV's above the bar turned on. The place has such good energy, I'd hate to see that destroyed by some brainless television programming.
The pinche paloma- tequila/grapefruit juice/lime/agave/squirt- is fab- not too sweet, not too sour, love the salted rim! It's an awesome deal during HH ($4) but good enough to order during regular hours ($9).
Fried cabbages- maybe not healthy, but SO good. I love a crispy sprout and these are nicely sprinkled with cotija- not just on top, but all the way through the bowl. The dipping sauce was really tasty, but these bite size veggies were fine on their own, too. $4 for a large serving- definitely recommend.
Queso la plancha taco ($3.25)- Not bad- griddled cotija cheese was good, topped with a bit of guac and a tomatillo salsa that was heavy on the lime. The double wrapped corn tortillas were good, but could've used a minute or two on the grill. Would have been better with a bit of hot sauce.
Overall, good place for HH. The menu is small, but what's on it is good and reasonably priced. Warning- they don't split checks. This is annoying if you are with a group and something I hope they reconsider even if it means adding automatic gratuity for a large table. I despise that moment when you have to figure out who ordered what to split a bill with a group. So much easier if the server does it for us. It's annoying to do and I always worry that the server gets stiffed because someone doesn't pay as much as they should. Would return, but probably not with a group.
